Let me clarify: Zoro & Usopp are purely combat-focused. Luffy says he's only good at beating threats to friends. Sanji is a chef first, fighter second. He values his arms over escaping Germa. He bakes Big Mom a cake That said, if he gets it, he gets it & I'll humbly accept it
Making up a scenario where THEE BLACK LEG SANJI gives up on fighting bc "he prefers cooking" and rewriting him as a non combatant as if he didn't prepare to die to elevate his captain to new heights so many times.. when the inevitable happens i will come back to laugh at you
Great point! Wanted to cover it, but the thread was already long. They won't share their meat or booze, yet feed Okobore’s starving villagers. They're not heroes, they just want their friends to freely have their fill too. “Have your cake and eat it too” personified, lol
I like how both of them see a "hero" the same way and they don't want it
Makes sense. Luffy and Zoro's designs reflect it. Red and green are opposite on the color wheel — green is cool, red is warm — so they complement each other and really pop on the page when they're standing together
if i remember correctly, zoro was always meant to be the "cool shounen protagonist" in contrast to luffy's unconventional goofiness for the readers
Thanks! Didn't dig into that as much as I wanted, so I'm glad you noticed. Zoro's poor navigation definitely keeps his story role laser-focused
Oh shit that's a pretty good analysis of the thematic behind his shit sense of direction
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. I'd love to analyze other Straw Hats like Sanji, Usopp and Nami the same way soon
I loved this thread, I support everything you said and I'm going to share this with some of my most feral zoro fanboy friends... though I was wondering if you'd do something like this about Sanji, Usopp, Nami, or any of the other strawhats and their role to Luffy in the story
Twitter wouldn't let me post my full thread, kept crashing and freaking out lol. Sorry for the accidental spam! Gonna try again later
Today in 2006, we saw THE FORM for the first time. 👊💨 #ONEPIECE #Anime #Gear2 #Water7 #Luffy
